![]() While some loops are better than others, even the tightest spot in this park offers more room than your average commercial campground. Most important to us is always space and privacy, and there were plenty of sites that ticked those boxes. And all sites have full hook-ups, a bit of a rarity in the world of government operated parks. Such an enormous campground means there are sites for every taste – back in sites, pull through sites, lake front sites, sites with direct access to bike trails, sites near activities, sites far from activities… everything. I can’t think of anywhere we’ve been that has anything close to the 496 sites Gulf State Park has. The campsites are spacious, offer full hook-ups, and many are parallel to the road So, what makes this park so special? Read on…. In the eighteen months we’ve been on the road, I’ve never been inclined to write an entire post about a particular campground, but this is no ordinary campground and I think it deserves some attention (and, as a side note, this is also a fantastic destination for Non-RVers to visit – especially during the warmer months). ![]() We would expect a park this nice, and this reasonably priced, to be a destination for our RVer friends as soon as the mercury starts to drop, but it seems many folks don’t know what they’re missing. Indeed, we were amazed by how many empty campsites there were during much of our November and December stay. We learned from park employees and staff at local establishments (read: bars) that a lot of snowbirds show up in January and February, but prior to that, it can be really slow. However, Gulf Shores, Alabama is another fantastic option, and it appears to be one that is somewhat overlooked. ![]() The most popular options are in Florida, Texas, and Arizona. There are only so many places fulltime RVers can go during the colder months. But you only know that because I just told you in the title. Yeah, yeah, I know you know the answer – Gulf State Park. Question of the day: Name a campground that offers large private campsites like a state park, full hook-ups and resort-style amenities like a private park, reasonable monthly rates, direct access to gorgeous white sand beaches, twenty-five miles of trails, enough activities to amuse even the most difficult-to-entertain person, and safe and simple bike access to bars and restaurants.
